30 years of Duffy Books

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 5 August 2024

The Duffy Books in Homes initiative will no doubt be familiar to many New Zealanders. It was established by author, Alan Duff to help break the cycle of booklessness in Kiwi homes. The programme is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month and a special book has been published to help mark the milestone.

Jesse talks to actor and director Jeff Szusterman about working with the organisation and the 'Duffy and the Bullies' graphic novel.

'Duffy and the Bullies' is being published to coincide with the upcoming 30th anniversary of Duffy Books in Homes
